Lotus Feet

Lotus Feet: A Kirtan Revolution was born out of a vision to express the healing power of Indian devotional chanting, known as Kirtan, in a contemporary western musical context. The goal was to both respect the chanting tradition while staying true to the sensibilities of the western singer songwriter idiom.
On Lotus Feet, ancient chants are rich with catchy hooks, evocative melodies, and passionate chord changes. Pop song structures are laced with Sanskrit mantras accented by English lyrics. Acoustic guitars are propelled by world rhythms, hip hop loops, dance grooves and ambient textures. The mantras are the message and the music the messenger. The chants embody a universal language of peace and love while the musical presentation strikes a familiar chord in the western ear and psyche.Lotus Feet: A Kirtan Revolution offers a gift from the heart of the east on the wings of the west straight to you, the listener, as cosmic sonic nourishment for the Body and Soul.

Gang Ganapataye Namo Namah. (To the elephant headed One, Ganesh, who removes all obstacles through the grace of our humility and pure heartedness. Our dreams all rest at His sweet lotus feet!)
There was a time of darkness when I couldn’t see.
You reached across the raging waters and put a hand out to me.
Such is your way all part of your plan.
You hold the dignity of humanity so softly in your hand.
Love loving love peace being peace joy touching joy here at your lotus feet touching your lotus feet kissing your sweet lotus feet.
You gave my life meaning you awoke me from a dream.
You sent your signal through the atmosphere. Bestowed your blessing on me. Such is your grace to come when we call.
You bring us water from the deepest well. Pick us up each time we fall.
Gang Ganapataye Namo Namah. Shiva Shiva Mahadeva Namah Shivaya Sada Shiva. Durga Durga Maha Maya Namah Durgaya Namo Namah. Kali Kali Maha Mata Namah Kalike Namo Namah.

Bhadra Kali Durga Ma Jay Ma Jay Ma Jay Ma. Chamundayai Shri Mata Durga Durgati Nashini Ma. Chamundayai Shri Mata Kali Kala Vinashini Ma.(To Kali, the form of the Divine Mother who lovingly protects Her children from the flame of ego desire. No one is a stranger to Her love!)

In the cool shade of my endless love you’re no stranger.
In the Loving grace of my heart’s embrace you’re no stranger.
You may have been overlooked under valued beaten down kicked around.
You may have been torn apart cast aside left behind but your no stranger.
No stranger not you no stranger to me no stranger within this one God family.
No stranger no stranger at all no stranger no fall from grace you see.
You will never be a stranger to me.
In the freedom of my selfless love you’re no stranger.
In the healing rays of my gentle gaze you’re no stranger.

Put your feet into the river. Give your life to something bigger!
Sita Rama Rama Ram Sita Ram. Sita Ram Ram Ram.
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare. Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare.(Ram is God’s essence - all that is noble and true. Sita is the great Goddess who is all knowing and wise. Together they offer the bliss of their perfect union to bring the world into greater harmony. Sita and Ram are Dharma itself!)
